Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
China Digital TV Holding Co., Ltd. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “CDTV,” “we,” or “our”) has concluded in good faith that during 2013, we have manufactured or contracted to manufacture products which contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of these products (such minerals are referred to as “necessary conflict minerals”). Based on a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”), we do not know or have reason to believe that our necessary conflict minerals originated or may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country as defined in the instructions to Form SD (the “Covered Countries”).
Below is a summary of our RCOI to determine whether any of the necessary conflict minerals in our products originated in the Covered Countries.
As we are a downstream supplier of finished products and do not purchase from, and have no established commercial relationships with, smelters or refiners of the necessary conflict minerals, our RCOI focused on our direct suppliers and we rely on them to assist with our RCOI efforts, including the identification of smelters and refiners, for the necessary conflict minerals contained in the materials which they supply to us. We purchase substantially all of the materials used in our finished products from two direct suppliers, STMicroelectronics, or STM, and Infineon Technologies AG, or Infineon, which accounted for approximately 97% and 3%, respectively, of the value of our purchases in 2013. We conducted a supply chain survey with each of STM and Infineon to obtain country of origin information for the necessary conflict minerals by using the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “Conflict Minerals Reporting Template”) published by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) (formally known as EICC/GeSI template) as well as by follow-up emails and phone calls to them. Both STM and Infineon responded to our RCOI and completed the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. STM confirmed that none of the products that it supplied to us contains conflict minerals that originated in the Covered Countries. Infineon has indicated that although it is still in the process of completing its own supply chain survey with respect to its entire products pool, Infineon provided a list of smelters used by Infineon’s suppliers, and we confirmed that none of those smelters was located in one of the Covered Countries. Accordingly, we have concluded in good faith that during 2013, we do not know or have reason to believe that the necessary conflict minerals contained in our products originated or may have originated in the Covered Countries.
